Black Clover · Story arc
Training on three fronts
Six months to close an abyss. Asta in the Land of the Sun, the Magic Knights in Heart's Grand Magic Zone, Magna in Elysia with the elves.
This is the arc that puts everyone back on their feet. Asta learns Zetten from Ichika Yami and descends into the Underworld with Nacht to seal the Devil Union pact with Liebe — the series' only pact between equals. Meanwhile Magna builds the Soul Chain from nothing and Noelle achieves her merger with the spirit Undine.
